Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Has anyone experienced this?
"I bet I can solve that 2x2"
Me: "Impossible"
They proceed to randomly scramble it.
4 people have actually successfully solved it by doing that.

If you do the same moves again and again, it'll eventually be solved.

Lot's of people have only seen a 3x3, so they think the 2x2 is easy.

But they actually solve it.

Haven't seen anyone yet.

"Oh cool, Once my (Brother, friend, etc) Got the whole thing without a guide"

*shows 2x2x2 "Haha! that one looks easy, I could solve that one"

*See's V-cube 7 at book store "whoa, thats like 100x100 or something"

Me:"hey mom have you seen my 5x5?" "Is this it?" *holds up 3x3... *FACEPALM

*Teachs friend the first side. "HA! I'm a !@#$^&$ genius"

 

[Bossman]

*describing a 2x2* Wow that like a 4 one isn't it!?

But they actually solve it.

They think they do. Really they do "random moves" that end up in a solved state again. If you want to prove they can't, do a y perm and hand it to them.

 

[aspetuck]

"Is the 2x2 easier or harder than the normal one?"
I saw 5 of my classmates try and none of them got it
"Wow the 2x2 is so much harder than the normal one. I got, like, 1 side once"

*sees green center cap on scrambling table*
"Who left that button there?"

 

[intheowetrust]

I got asked if I like my 3-sided or 4-sided cube better.

And people will say that you cheated

 

[brian724080]

A lot of people ask me why I have so many cubes (apparently 11 cubes is a lot), and my parents complain when I want more, specifically when I want another cube of the same kind. I don't understand the difference between this and owning several pens and pencils, or owning two cars instead of one.

 

[cubemaste r]

My friend just told me that if you only scramble the cube wih slice moves it is much harder to solve, i need to get new friends...

A guy actually believed that you can get lucky and find the solved position out of 43 quintillion permutations...

You can.

It's just very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very unlikely.

Not enough 'very's.

I brought my Primary WeiLong in to school today... I've only ever brought in black cubes. So many people saw the "white" plastic and the brighter stickers and asked "Is that a fluorescent cube?". At least five people.

 

[Randomno]

People have used so many names for my puzzles.

2x2 = 2-way cube, 4 one, pyraminx = triangle, pyramid, Rubik's Pyramid, megaminx = no-ones even called it a dodecahedron, 3x3x4 = 3x4, rectangle, 4x3.

I think that's it.

 

[patrickcuber]

People always say its too easy.
It drives me nuts because i hear it 20 times a day.
